Mingaw Ang Pasko sa Sta Catalina

Unlike previous Christmas in Sta Catalina, Today is the saddest, quiet, and less fun. I can't see Christmas decors, nor the annual inter-barangay belen contest where people from different places meet and enjoy watching the colorful decors and lights.

So just wondering, Nganong walay decorations sa park karon? Nganong walay inter-barangay belen contest karon?

Well, I'm just having a thought that they might saving for electricity? (haha!)...hope not for the upcoming elections. (whew).

I hope there's still preparing activities where people can see and enjoy. I know, it's not the decors, nor the "mabonggang" Christmas lights that bring people together, but the love that binds us together.

But truly, Mingaw jud ang pasko sa Sta Catalina karon!

Sta. Catalina Barangay Get Water Pipes

The presence of the Philippine Army in Sitio Kakha, Barangay Talalac, will help prevent rebel groups from destroying the water pipes in the hinterland barangays of Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental.

The local government recently sent bundles of water pipes to be used to give ample water supply to the residents of the Gawad Kalinga Kalinaw Village and of Sitio Kakha.

There are 38 families in Sitio Kakha identified as recipients of the housing project under the Gawad Kalinga of the Couples for Christ-World Mission.

Barangay Kagawad Josephine Casido said some of the water pipes were allegedly destroyed by still unknown suspects while some were hit by a landslide caused by strong rain recently.

She said residents of Sitio Kakha used to fetch water from shallow wells almost two kilometers from their place. She added they have to utilize the available water supply because they have no other sources in the area.

Casido said there are other recipients of the Kalinaw Village who refused to occupy the housing units because of the lack of water supply.

Residents said that during rainy season they will make an improvised catchment tank to gather rainwater to be used for cooking and also for drinking.

The 302nd Brigade Commander of the Philippine Army Col. Cesar Yano has instructed the troops in Sitio Kakha to assist the residents in the installation of there water pipes.

Yano has introduced organic agriculture development to the farmers who are residents of in Sitio Kakha. He said he strongly believes that there is money in agriculture partnered with patience and hard work.*MA
